Golda Meir 1959: “We are a small people which has suffered much in the past, and which is now trying to devote its energies and resources to rebuilding our ancient homeland in which our children could live secure and productive lives”.

Anyone can claim to be descended from this or that group of people but can they prove it? There is no way that the Ashkenazi could prove that they are descended from the Middle East because absolutely nothing about them is Middle Eastern and they are not related to any people in the Middle East and there is no history of the Ashkenazi having ever lived anywhere in the Middle East before 1882 when these bunch of white European people begin to arrive in Palestine. Today, DNA has confirmed that the Ashkenazi are actually 100% European!
